The Story Blanket
It is a really wet day, so the children can't go to the woods. Josie decides to tell them a story instead, a story to help them know what it feels like to be in the woods. She tries to buy some things to help her tell the story, but instead of finding a new way of telling a story, Josie just makes a terrible mess. She thinks that Archie might be able to help. Archie shows Josie his feely invention. It is a special box that he could put objects into for Josie to touch. The box only has one set of hand holes, though, so Archie tells Josie about his special story blanket. When they arrive with the blanket, all the children sit underneath it. Josie tells the children the story of the hen called Hilary who goes for a walk in the woods looking for somewhere to lay her egg. Archie has things for the children to feel under the blanket, so they felt they were in the woods. They have a great time.

Famous quotes containing the words story and/or blanket:
“If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, “I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.” I mean people are going to say, “You’re crazy.” Plus they’re going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that’s a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
“Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended
lying,
Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,
Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
